"One thing about the music for sure, it rocks with the rhythms of dance. The lyrics say the same thing that poet singers in the student hangouts in the Paris Latin Quarter say today...
Villon is the very archetype, the poet laureate of 500 years of the counterculture. So clearly does he speak for a way of life that his name has become a common noun & adjective in European languages."
— Kenneth Rexroth, Subversive Aspects of Popular Songs
France: The Last Word?: Poet François Villon, recently arrested, tortured & condemned to be hanged ("pendu et étranglé"), has his sentence commuted to banishment today. There is no further record of Villon after that date. Among the many depictions of Villon, Bertolt Brecht's Baal is the main character in the play of the same name, is modeled after Villon, & Ezra Pound's opera Le Testament takes passages from Villon for its libretto, & songsters such as Wolf Biermann wrote "Ballade auf den Dichter Francois Villon", Georges Brassens song "Ballade des dames du temps jadis", puts Villon's poem into music.

The song, adopted by workers worldwide, is anarchist at its core:
"The Internationale"
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers,
Arise ye prisoners of want,
For reason in revolt know thunders,
And at last ends the age of cant.
So away with all your superstitions
Servile masses, arise, arise,
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

1903 --US: In an effort to mobilize broad support from American citizens for John Turner, Emma Goldman acts under the pseudonym E. G. Smith to form a permanent New York City chapter of the newly formed Free Speech League (founded in 1902 by Theodore Schroeder).
Most American historians & legal scholars incorrectly assume that controversies & litigation about free speech began abruptly during World War I. However, there was substantial debate about free speech issues between the Civil War & WWI.
Important free speech controversies, often involving the activities of sex reformers, anarchists & labor unions, preceded the Espionage Act of 1917.
Scores of legal cases presented free speech issues. A significant organization, the Free Speech League, became a principled defender of free expression two decades before the establishment of the ACLU in 1920.
WWI produced a major transformation in American liberalism. Progressives who had viewed constitutional rights as barriers to needed social reforms came to appreciate the value of political dissent during its wartime repression. They subsequently misrepresented the prewar judicial hostility to free speech claims & obscured prior libertarian defenses of free speech based on commitments to individual autonomy.
